  I was the remote control. In the turn the knob days...lol. 3 feet from TV. And you never knew what might go flying. A shush would have been like a pat on the head. 

Jesus, that sucks. Lucky for me, my Dad was a big reader. I got to watch whatever I want.

That's what I was thinking. Most people don't like it because they don't like feeling guilty about shushing their own kids or their parents shushed them as kids. I don't judge you. I think it's perfectly fine to shush kids when you're trying to watch something. I mean, unless they're trying to tell you the house is on fire. 

You would be a type of dad that would shush your child after he/she said "I Love You" because that is what happened in the video if you would have listened to it.

I watched the video. I heard the joke. I got the joke. I laughed. If you get your parenting cues from the NFL Network, then your kids have much bigger problems than you shushing them.

It was great. My life was perfect and those are some great memories. That was the 70s. In Pittsburgh. This world is wayyyy too sensitive. 

  I shocked this is a discussion. It’s a over the top commercial. There’s a TV in the sky. After Michael Irvin “howled”, who in their right mind took anything else seriously? That is 2018 in a nutshell.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
